2000 Chrysler town and country won't shift 1st to 2nd hard jerk backwards

Asked by Ramdog559 Aug 30, 2018 at 11:22 PM about the 2000 Chrysler Town & Country LX LWB FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a Chrysler Town & Country year
2000, that when I accelerate from first
to second gear, it will jerk hard  and
almost feel like it's going backwards
and go in to limp mode. It almost feels
like is trying to downshift while I'm
accelerating to 2nd gear. Or like
someone is applying the brakes, but
nobody is. Reverse works, Park works,
low works, 3rd and drive also work until
I try to accelerate and jerks and jolts
me as soon as it tries to transition to
2nd gear. I have changed the
transmission filter, the fluid, the
solenoid pack, speed sensors, and
throttle position sensor. Running out of
ideas, if anybody has a clue, I would
sure appreciate it.

Also there us no check engine light coming on. Its a 3.3 liter v6 automatic just to add. Also already changed the relays and fuse, ETAS, and auto shutoff. No change.
